Welcome to VDOT’s
"Norton 2020 Transportation Plan" study web site. The study was
conducted to provide long term needs assessment for the City’s thoroughfare
highway system. The boundaries of the study area are the corporate limits of the
City of Norton. The following roadway segments were evaluated:

US 23 (Norton Bypass)
from West Corporate Limits to North Corporate Limits.

ALT 58 from US 23 to
East Corporate Limits

BUS 23 (Park Avenue)
from West Corporate Limits to north corporate limits.

Route 610 (Needmore
Road) from West Corporate Limits to North West Corporate Limits.

Data collected for the
study of the town includes:

traffic counts
conducted in Oct ’99

accident report
information from 1996 through 1998

VDOT database of
roadway geometric conditions (dimensions)

review of tourism and
goods movement issues in the Town

The above information was
analyzed to identify Norton’s 2020 transportation needs based upon highway
capacity, geometry, and safety as well as other concerns that may be raised by
local officials and citizens.

The Virginia Department of
Transportation presented the proposed recommendations for the Norton 2020
Transportation Plan on November 15, 2001 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM in the Council
Chambers of the Municipal Building on 618 Virginia Avenue NW, Norton, VA. The
